They won't be chucking her out. They just have to downsize for a bit, and can only find somewhere a few miles from where they live and my girlfriend works. | |

surely her mum and dad have to understand that shes in temp employment and wouldnt be correct to just chuck her oot? | |

I don't think she's ready to take such a big step at the moment. This job is only for 9 months anyway as she is covering someone on maternity leave, so she'll want to wait till she has something permanent. | |

What about getting a place on an interest only mortgage? | |

No, I still live with my parents and drive to Uni the days I have to be in. I'd struggle to fit a double bed in my room too, without losing lots of floor space! | |

imo I would never rent. Her money would be paying someone elses mortgage. | |

Naaa I won't be able to afford to live with her, as I'm at Uni. The only way we would manage is if I bought food every month, but then I'd be working 14 hours per week in a shitty Spar shop to buy food. | |

It's harder than you'd imagine. She would be better off sharing with someone (you) maybe? | |

Now i spend £40 a week on 2 of us which feeds us well, with food and litter for 3 cats included in that. I dont smoke anymore which saves an awful lot of money as well! | |

I started renting at 16 with a friend, £500 pcm house where we paid £250 each plus bills which worked out at £350. I was taking home £800 a month and managed fine, but then i was sharing. | |

No, no debts luckily. No credit cards, no overdraft etc. | |

Its certainly possible to do it on that salary but she'll need to be very careful. There's no great amount of maths to it - just be prudent and she'll be fine. | |

food is the killer, atleast it is for me. Ends up being the same as all my other bills added together. I dont even buy that much from what I can tell when its back here :lol: | |

Exactly my thoughts and what I told her. | |
